Hey Kids! Comics! Volume 2
Prophets & Loss
Checking Availibility...Description
Digging deeper into the sordid, seedy, and always entertaining lives of the men and women who built the comic book business, volume two of Howard Chaykin's acclaimed Comics à clef tells the story of those who pushed the boundaries of the lowest common denominator-at their peril -and those happy enough to ride the waves others created. Along the way there's exploitation, Blaxploitation, custom toilet paper, death at the dinner table and plenty more as fans turn pro and pros turn bitter.

About this Author
Howard Chaykin is a longtime veteran of the comic book business, serving as an artist and writer for nearly every publisher of comics in the past four decades...and counting. He took the '90s off to work on mostly unwatchable television, so he missed the money and dreck that was comics in that execrable decade. He is responsible, some might say culpable, for introducing a number of previously unexplored themes to comic books. If you're not hip to what that's supposed to mean, there's always Wikipedia.
